WRITNG COACHING

IS COACHING FOR YOU?

Writing is a lonely business, and publishing can be extremely difficult. My work as a writing coach combines consulting for children's literature (or kidlit) writing careers with coaching toward writing dissertation or book-length projects. As an agented, published author, and instructor at Stanford University, I have a unique combination of skills to bring to coaching relationships. Below, see comments from clients who can testify to the benefits of working with me! Coaching might be right for you if:

​

  • you are querying, nervous, and need a plan

  • you are struggling to finish writing a book or diss on deadline

  • you are struggling with writing process

  • you love to write, but can't finish a manuscript

  • you are published, and struggling with time management or commitment to writing  

  • you are struggling with motivation and idea generation

 

I'm an engaging and high energy coach who can bring my expertise to your writing career and coach you through it. Scroll for options!

My fees are 175-250 hour, sliding scale
